Hello and welcome.

Please find a comfortable position lying down or seated.

When you are ready,

Gently close your eyes if that feels more comfortable.

Let's bring your awareness to your breath.

As you inhale and exhale,

Notice your belly rises and falls.

Awareness of breath brings you to the present moment.

It helps you to notice your aliveness.

Let's breathe in by saying I am and breathe out by saying life.

I am breathing.

Alive,

Breathe out.

One more time.

I am breathing.

Alive,

Breathe out.

As a gay person or as a member of LGBTQ community,

You have gone through a courageous journey of claiming your authentic self,

Claiming your true essence.

As you breathe freely,

Let your breath remind you that you are a free soul.

Your true essence is made of light and love.

In this practice,

I invite you to honor your gay essence,

Your queer identity,

Or however you wish to name your beautiful essence.

I often use gay or queer and you can use whatever description feels right for you.

Let's honor your gay essence by imagining it as a pure light.

Let's visualize every cell in your body full of light and your whole being brightened by the light of your gay essence.

This light is no longer hidden in the closet.

It is here now and helps you to live according to your true nature.

This pure light illuminates your life path and helps you read the book of life.

As you are accessing the light of your queer nature,

Let's take a deep breath and exhale.

A breath that is connected to your light is a beautiful breath.

It adds more light to the world.

It throws light on the darkness of homophobia,

Transphobia,

Or any kind of hatred.

As a queer person,

You can participate in the healing of the world by this simple meditation of turning within and accessing your inner light.

Accessing your inner light can benefit everyone.

This practice is one more reason why you as an LGBTQ person matter,

Why your queer essence is a gift.

Feel free to do this practice anytime you wish.

As we are getting close to the end of this practice,

May you be happy,

Healthy,

And in harmony with your gay essence.

May your light shine brightly and bring peace to the world.

Let's close with one more deep inhale and exhale.

When you are ready,

Gently open your eyes.

Be well.

Payam, I wish there were more meditations like this. I love seeing my gay essence as light, when for most of my life it has seemed the deepest darkness.
